More Food Adventures: Christmas Noche Buena 2015

Shop at More Food Adventures

It's thirty minutes before Christmas. And we have been ready since twelve noon.. hehehe.. Well, actually, it's the gifts for the annual exchange gifts that were ready since dawn today. It was quite a trip to the malls and everywhere we could get the gifts from. It was quite difficult though, because we had to made do with a meager budget this year.

But, everything had been ready, and sure to make everyone happy, especially the kids. Since morning, we prepared for our very simple Noche Buena. Although, there is Lechon, but we were actually preparing just a simple menu.

My sister prepared the filling, but I did the wrapping and the frying of the Lumpia.. And the best thing about this is that, I used Canola Oil to fry them.. Healthier option amidst the unhealthy food blunder, hahahaha..

My sister Sweet prepared the Chicken Macaroni Salad.. I only helped with the Chicken..

My mom prepared the Roasted Fish.. All juicy and yummy.. This is healthy.. hehehe..

My mom's friend sold us this layer of Chocolate Cake, which I do not really recommend because it tastes bitter and there were bits of clumped baking soda..

But this Roasted Chicken is to die for.. This has been marinated more than 24 hours, and roasted just in time for the Lechon to arrive..

Now, this Lechon was not planned. We did not buy this. My father's gift from his mechanic friend who he allowed to stay at our land in Balulang, without rent for so many years now..

Along with the Lechon are fruits and vegetables that they planted there.. Bananas, Papayas, and many others. Roughly, the Lechon could cost P 5,000 to P 6,000 if bought from Lechon sellers.. That is something to be thankful for apart from good health and many other blessings...

In a couple more minutes, it's gonna be Christmas.. From my family to yours, have a blessed one..
